Environmental responsibility is extremely important to us here at Dosatron. That’s why we were so pleased to learn recently that one of our customers, Autobell Car Wash, is participating in the International Carwash Association’s (ICA) WaterSavers program, which helps professional car washes promote their environmentally responsible business practices and educates consumers about the environmental effects of choosing home washing instead of professional car washes.
Autobell Car Wash is in the water management business. They use only state-of-the-art car wash technology that allows their facilities to treat 100% and recycle up to 100% of wash water, and they dispose of treated wash water only into approved water treatment facilities. In an average home car wash, up to 150 gallons of water are used, and all this water goes untreated into storm drains, creeks, and eventually into our drinking water supply. Autobell educates customers and the general public on the environmental benefit of professional car washes, hoping to reduce the amount of untreated water that flows into our water supply. One Autobell unit even includes a bioretention pond and rain garden to further assist in the treatment and conservation of rain water runoff. Several of Autobell’s newer stores utilize an Aqua Bio 100% water reclaim treatment system in which bacteria digest and recycle the waste water, a recent innovation in car wash technology.
Congratulations to Autobell and all they are doing to improve the quality of water in our communities.
